It was also a nice chance for the teams from Spain and New Zealand to work together in person — something we don't get to do very often!
Plenty of work, good conversations, and of course, astronomy all around.
We also had a day to walk around New York before heading home — freezing cold, by the way!

The Lanternfish at NEAF
One of the highlights of the show was our new product, the Lanternfish. This small device is a portable sky quality meter, designed to help assess observing conditions quickly and easily. It drew attention from many visitors thanks to its simple operation, compact size, and precise readings. A practical tool for both amateur and professional astronomers.
Press mention: Lunaticoastro and the new Lanternfish were mentioned in Sky & Telescope (Planner 9) following the show.
About NEAF
The Northeast Astronomy Forum is one of the largest astronomy shows in the world, held annually in New York. For Lunatico, it is an important opportunity to meet the North American astronomy community in person — customers, distributors, and collaborators from across the continent.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table for a conversation. We hope to see you at NEAF again next year!
